    bad for not doing the wrong thing. This is how Lady Macbeth and the Witches entice Macbeth to commit crimes and murder so many people. By using his insecurities against him to bring out his bad side‚ they show what is truly beneath the surface. Despite influence of Lady Macbeth and the Witches‚ Macbeth is undeniably a villain because of his pleasure of killing for control‚ lack of remorse‚ and his ability to manipulate people to benefit himself.
